Hi Laurie
Thanks to the thought you are adding to this topic; much appreciated.
To clarify - i did not attribute the changes to my ISP. They are two separate issues. As computer systems advanced, changes have been made with many web sites, including ExplorOz and Westnet.
When David made the changes, he communicated with members and as those of us still needing to use 800 x 600 were having to scroll. Then he did something clever so we could see the
forum without scrolling, but this compromise totally lost the LH column, and we need to scroll into the RH column where the adverts are. This was probably over a year ago. His recent changes prompted me to bring the subject up again; this included asking about another way of getting into the features we are missing in the LH column, like through the tabs on the top, and pointing out about the screen 'jumping' which i had always intended to tell David by a direct email but hadn't got around to it.
Much the same time (or much the same year), my ISP made a similar sort of change which resulted in me having to scroll to get the full screen. Being aware of how it was for us, they then did something which brought it back to normal for my screen without mucking it up for the majority - it is still normal for the different screen resolutions.
The font size adjustment does not work for me, although it does change to font ONLY in the msn groups caravaners
forum. Everything else is tiny. As i work in MYOB and need clear easy to see numbers, my old computer needs to be run on 800 x 600. I know i am in a small minority.
Firefox may help, and i know people who chose it like it, but i prefer to stay where i am than do something new at this stage. I am not complaining, but just pointing out what is happening my end. Even the screen jumping has lessened over the last few days.
Thanks to everyone who has offered advice, and to David for taking on board member
feedback when making improvements. The new photo feature is an incredibly quick and easy two in one process; upload photo and post into thread in one simple step. Just great.
